I Cat Story.

Every day, after breakfast, l made it a rule to throw bit of bread into an adjoining room as far of as 1 could. so as to induce my eat to ren after it as it rolled away. This custom 1 kept up for several months, and the cat always regarded that piece of bread as the tit bit of it's dessert Even after it had eaten meat it would await with attentive in- terest the minute when it was to start in pursuit of the morsel of soft bread. One day l held the coveted scrap in my hand, and swung it about for long time, while the cat eyed it with a kind of patient eagerness, and then, instead of throwing it into the next room, 1 threw it behind the upper portion of a picture, which was slightly inclined forward from the wall. The surprise of the cat, who, closely following my movements, had observed the direction in which l threw the bread, and it's dis appearance, was extreme. The uneasy look of the animal indicated its con- sciousness that a material object trav- ersing space could not be annihilated. For some time the cat considered the matter, then it started off into the next I, .m, evidently guided by the re6ec- ton that the piece of bread having dis appeared, it must have gone through the wall. But the bread had not gone through the wall. and the cat returned disappointed. The animals logic was at fault. Iagain attracted its attention by my gestures, and sent a second piece of bread to join the first behind the picture. This time the cat jumped upon divan and went straight to the hiding place. Having inspected the frame on both sides, it began to maneuver so dexte ously with its paw that it shifted the lower edge of the picture away from the wall, and thus got at the two pieces of bread.-Mrs. l Hoeg

Stare Erotls,n.


 To us on the outside of things ii would seem that the worst to be said against the stage as profession is the tremendous impulse it gives to vanity and egotism. You seldom or never hear actors and actresses speak Of the play as whole, only of what 1 did; how looked at such and such a mo- ment; my byplay at this point; my manner of delivering this speech, and, above all, my dress and gen eral appearance. lis part is to him the apex of the whole structure; hers to her the pivot round which all the rest rcvolves. Their dresses are of more importance than a new reform bill or a declaration of war, and a change of parts is an event as grave as revolution or a battle lost or gained.
 The very shifting of impersonations seems to increase this eeotism, as by force of reasoning it must, by the mui- tipication of the ego, the facetting of the indiyidral; and neither poets nor artists, nor yet literary men-all of whom are vain or jealousy and ego tistical enough in their own degree come near to the vanity, egotism, and jealousy of actors and actresses.
 But we have not yet touched so high an ethical level as to reject profession because of the vanity it fosters or the egotism it engenders. If we did, which would escape? What should we say to professorships, whore a man tabulates his knowledge, and a crowd of young minds. in tie forming epoch of their lives, accept the range of his facts as the limits of an absolute gospel, fixed and final? What should we say of the church itself, where a young fellow of 23 is licensed to lay down laws on the conduct of lives-to sweep over the whole domain of pas sion, sorrow, sn--an1 to expound the most difficult doctrines of his creed, no man daring to oppose? What kind of training for a mans mental humility is this?
 In the case of the scientific Professor the constant discovery of new truths, and the perpetual consciousness of an illimitable nature, keep his soul low on this side. for all that it is little puffed upon that; but the church is a sacred profession, and its ministers are a privileged class. In any case. this vanity, tlis egOtism of the boards has its analogue elsewhere, and we know of no circunstances nor profession which excludes it. Platform women are just as proud of applause and as vain Of their powers as are actresses, and platform women number among them names which slander itself cannot reach, and which all men agree to re- spect. And what of the prettiest wo- man of her circle? of her who strings hearts as children string beads, or as the young woman, fair and beautiful like the shining sum-" strung her 9S seal rings in commemorative token? of the best horsewoman at the cover-sideP of the strongest pianiste in a musical setp of the most successful artist among the candidates for honorsP- 7he NationGl ReUieW.

Indian Scid.crs.

The army as 6 profession IS stll highly popular. and is indeed especially congenial to the temper of the races of Northern India, while no temporary cause of unpopularity exists such as the Afghan w&r, when recruiting ceased and high bountics failed to tempt suitable men. Yet the fact re- mains that while, 20 or 8 or 50 years ago an unlimited number of recruits could be had for the asking and every regiment had numerous candidates on its lists, commanding officers TOW find great difficulty in filling the ordinary vacancies.
 There is only one explanation, and it cOniutes the misreprcscntations of pes simist critics. 1 have frequently dis cussed it with native officers in Sikh or Mohammedan villages where we were accustomed to draw our best recruits. The story 6 everywhere the same. The general prosperity of the country is such that military pay, which was once above, has fallen far below the market rate of wages; and, secondly, that whereas, in old days, the family holding was insufficient to maintain the adult males, wno were thus forced to enter the army OF emigrate, the agri uitural position is now so greatly improved by rapid communication. the rise of prices, and the opening of dis tsnt markets. that the young Sikh finds it ore profitable to assist in cultivat- ing his father fields than to take to soldering, for which he has I natural liking and an inherited aptitude. The Government are wei aware of the state Of the case, but naturally are trying to avoid the great expense Of raising gem crafty the pay of the native army. However, the measure is inevitable; and it is distinctly unwi5e to defer it to times of danger or anxiety. when its significance would be misunderstood. -Ihe F0rtn5qH:1y RsUjeU.

Expiosive Seeds and Trees.

Speaking about dynamiters," said a naturalist, 'I have brought few specimens to illustrate that feature in low life-as there are dynamiters in the lower animal kingdom as well as in the higher, and, curiously enough, we might say the same of the vegetable kingdom. 1 remember a few years ago l was traveiing on small vessel be- tween some of the West India Islands, and at one place had purchased a num- Der of curious seeds. placing them un- der my berth for safe-keeping. 1 was sitting at the small table, hanging on with both hands, ill company with negro passenger, when there came an explosion that sounded as if barrel of powder had gone of. Something whizzed by my face so closely that I felt the wind, and another projectile struck me full in the breast. The ne- gro was not so fortunate. He uttered q loud yell as the sound came, threw up his hands. and. with the blood squirting from his face. went over back ward with crash that brought the skipper and crew down the hatch in hurry We picked him up. and first he swore that had shot him, and then that had hit him with club, but in moment he recovered from his fright and we began to investigate.
 The man had been struck fairly in the nose-a blow so powerful that it was several hours before the hem orrhage could be stopped. When 1 rose from my seat something dropped upon the cabin floor, and 1 afterward picked it up; and what do you suppose it was? Nothing but section of one of the seeds, and they were the explo- sives. The heat of the cabin had in some way affected them so that they went off like cartridges, and, as each was made up of several pieces, it had somewhat the effect of grape-shot. One struck the negro as related, another missed my head and shattered look ing-glass behind me, another struck me in the chest, while still another, curiously enough, took off the handle of pitcher, or monkey cooler, that stood on the table. Four of the seeds didn't go of, and you may be sure put them in a strong box. 4 number of seeds" continued the speaker, ''have a similar habit of exploding, and it is generally a provision connected with the dispersal of seeds. In the West 1 have seen trees explode with a report that could be heard nearly a mile; in 1 this case the frost was the cause. There certain insects bore great holes in the
 bark of trees, rain finds its way in and freezes, and away goes the tree as if | you had placed torpedo in it, showing what the expansive power of water will 1 flitddelphid ZGneS.
